To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, PETER OKELL, of Fort Madison, in the county of Lee, and in the State of Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Dogs for Log-Chains; and 1 do hereby declare that the following is a lull, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters ofreterence marked thereon, making a part of this specification.

This invention relates to an improved dog for log-chains; and it has for its objects to provide a movable and adjustable device that may be secured to the chain at any desired point, as more fully hereinafter specified. These objects I attain by the means illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents a side elevation, showing my device applied to a portion of a chain; and Fig. 2, a sectional view on the line w as of Fig. 1.

of the two parts are provided with semicircular grooves or recesses (I, as indicated.

The dog is attached to a link of a chain at any desired point of the chain by clasping the link B between the parts, the sides of the link sitting in the recesses or grooves before mentioned. The parts are secured together upon the link by screws 0 or other suitable devices.

Having thus described my invention, What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s

A dog for log chains, constructed in two parts, with adjoining recesses or grooves, in which a chain-link is adapted to fit, the parts being provided with suitable chisel-edges, and with screw or other fastening devices, whereby the parts are secured together,substantially as shownand described.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses, this 17th day of July, 1882.
